Maybe.  The current situation is a mess and I don't know the best way
out of it yet.

Not too fond of the #ifdef.  But I won't blame you, as there already is
an example of the same and - worse - a contradicting example that
unconditionally assigns and moved the #ifdef elsewhere.

Hugetlb is the unloved stepchild with 13 years of neglect and
half-measures.  It shows.

Patch looks good to me.
